Keep Your Office Fresh and Productive Throughout the Summer

Summer brings longer days, warmer weather, and a unique set of cleaning challenges for commercial spaces. Most workplaces see increased foot traffic, some employees are experiencing seasonal allergies, and there’s a real potential for heat-related issues like odors and bacteria buildup. It's more important than ever to keep your workplace clean, safe, and comfortable. Cross Town Cleaning shares these key strategies for maintaining a spotless workplace all summer long.

1. Stay Ahead of Odors

Rising temperatures can increase odors, especially in areas like kitchens, restrooms, and wherever garbage is collected. Regular sanitization, trash removal, and the use of odor-neutralizing products can keep your office smelling fresh all season.

2. Control Dust and Allergens

Indoor allergens, like pollen, can increase during the summer. It enters through open windows and on employees' clothing. Dust also settles more quickly in dry weather, triggering allergies and reducing air quality.

3. Focus on Floors

More people are often going in and out during the summer, especially in shared office buildings. Floors take a beating. Dirt, mud, and debris can easily be tracked in, wearing down carpet fibers and scratching hard floors.

Services to Consider:

• Daily vacuuming for high-traffic carpeted areas

• Regular mopping and deep cleaning of tile, laminate, or hardwood flooring

• Floor waxing and polishing to protect and extend the life of your surfaces

4. Windows and Blinds

Summer sunlight highlights streaks and dust on windows and blinds. Clean windows not only improve your office’s appearance but also let in more natural light, boosting employee morale and productivity. Scheduling window cleaning at the start of the season and touch-ups every few weeks helps maintain a spotless view.

5. Sanitize High-Touch Surfaces

Germs don’t take a summer vacation. Shared surfaces like doorknobs, elevator buttons, and breakroom handles still need regular disinfection to keep your team healthy. We recommend daily disinfecting routines between scheduled cleaning for all high-touch areas, especially in common zones like kitchens and conference rooms.
